How are our cell culture media offered?

At PromoCell, we offer most of our cell culture growth media in two formats to suit your application needs:

Growth Medium (ready-to-use)

This convenient option includes a basal medium and SupplementMix, in which all growth supplements are pre-mixed in a single tube. Simply add the SupplementMix to the basal medium in a single pipetting step, without the need for further preparation. The final concentrations of all components match those of our Growth Medium Kit.

Growth Medium Kit

This kit contains a basal medium and a SupplementPack, with each growth supplement provided in separate vials. This format allows you to customize the final concentrations of individual supplements as needed. When all supplements are added to the basal medium, the final composition is identical to the ready-to-use format.

For selected media, our basal media are also available without phenol red.

Cytokines are available for certain media types when applicable.
